I have known the Boyd family since my days at Utica Junior College. I taught some of the younger sisters. I met Dorothy later on when she was a Principal i Crystal Springs and had the great privilege of working in her school as a consultant. Later, we would become friends through Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Beta Delta Omega Chapter, the Links, Incorporated LeFleur's Bluff Chapter and a Visiting Professor at Jackson State University. A lady of class, compassion, high intellect, service and beauty describe Dorothy. I will miss her because she believed and loved people. May her family and friends find peace in her service to God and others.

Dorothy and I worked together as faculty at Belhaven University. She was an elegant lady who gave inspiration to everyone she touched. Her students loved her and she contributed so much to those around her. May her family find comfort in knowing she loved her Lord and she is with loved ones. We shall miss her presence.

I remember when Dorothy came to Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church (Madison). She asked someone "did they know Dan Jones' sister". That turned out to be me, Bertha (Thompson). Our friendship started that day. As the friendship developed, Dorothy shared many fun and loving memories of her siblings, children and grandchildren. My thoughts and prayers are that God will bless her family and give them peace!

Prayers of comfort and peace to the family of my loving Lake School Principal, who enjoyed a delicious serving of salisbury steak and rice!! "Onward to the prize before us! Soon His beauty we'll behold! Soon the pearly gates will open - We shall tread the streets of gold." Rest in Paradise, my friend!! {Joyce Hunt and Family}

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
